	Yo Yo Loach Behavior
Cmreds Fingerling Posts: 21 Kudos: 13 Votes: 0 Registered: 08-Feb-2008	Hi everyone, Is it normal for an adult(rougly 2 years old)to suddenly change behavior and become very active? I call very active her constant pacing the length of the tank and looping vertically and horizontally. She did lose her mate 6 months ago and she recently survived a Ich outbreak and was quarantined for about 4 weeks. Thanks, Chris

I think its common for fish to change behavior after loosing a companion (Oscars sometimes refuse to eat if their mate dies or is removed from the tank). Its also possible that there is a minute parameter change in your water that is causing her to act differently. -Brandon \\\\\\\"an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure\\\\\\\"

Try feeding with frozen Blood worms and vary the diet a bit more. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

I would sugest to get more of them as said before they like to be in groups. When looking for the new yoyos I would sugest trying to get close to the same size as what you already have.
